Liverpool’s squad has never been stronger, with Jurgen Klopp admitting it is the best he has ever managed. Boasting greater depth than ever before, it’s why the Reds have been able to challenge for an unprecedented quadruple this year.
Yet despite the quality they possess in reserve, allowing the German to regularly rotate his side and still have faith in his side to win, his strongest starting XI still arguably picks itself for the majority, with only one or two places up for debates. And while some key players won’t start every week as Klopp manages their legs, there are also a couple of Liverpool stars who are guaranteed to start practically every match when fit regardless.
Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Mohamed Salah are arguably the first three names on the Reds’ teamsheet and are certain to start the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris later this month. Or at least they were before suffering recent injuries.
